Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to get money from a personal injury claim?

Personal injury claims (particularly more complex cases) can last several years. Often if you cannot work, you will require money to fund care/rehabilitation treatment or to make up for some of your loss of earnings. 

In situations like this, it is possible to request that an interim payment be made. An interim payment is where part of the compensation that is due at the end of the claim is paid early. The defendant can make this payment voluntarily or if they will not agree to it then an application can be made to the court to force them to pay. We will advise you whether in your case it is appropriate to request an interim payment. 

Following the settlement of your case, we will look to finalise all matters promptly to ensure that your compensation can be released as quickly as possible.
